MENU
Italian dishes are featured here, traditional favorites such as lasagna, spaghetti and pizza. Specialties include beef, chicken and seafood.
ATMOSPHERE
Dark wood and low-level lighting make for a cozy atmosphere. Seating is at booths and tables.
OUR FAVORITE FOOD/PRICE
Pollo caprino ($16.50) was one of the evening’s specials and I couldn’t resist : chicken breasts stuffed with caprino cheese, roasted red peppers and zucchini, topped with Marsala sauce and served with roasted vegetables. The meal exceeded my expectations with a wonderful mix of flavors highlighted by the rich, dark Marsala sauce. I chose a cup of Mama Mandola’s Sicilian chicken soup rather than a salad . It was spicy — but not excessively so — and full of chicken, pasta and vegetables.
REASON TO GO
You can try to snag a seat at the counter overlooking the kitchen and feel like you’re in the center of the action.
SERVICE
Our server, Richard, was excellent. He kept our water glasses full, checked on us and expertly packed our leftovers.
NOISE LEVEL
We arrived slightly before the dinner crowd, so the restaurant was fairly quiet. But as we were leaving, there was a moderate hum of happy diners.
KID FRIENDLY
There’s a menu , along with highchairs and booster seats.

    Where’s the real review guy- of course Carraba’s serves Italian food. Are there really people who don’t know that? Would they be people who might eat out?
